Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: The POSTCONDITIONING and THE NO REFLOW Phenomenon in Acute Myocardial Infarction

Brief Summary: After having shown that postconditioning allowed a significant 36% reduction of infarct size as assessed by blood levels of myocardial enzymes in acute myocardial patients, the investigators objective is to assess the effect of postconditioning in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients on microvascular obstruction lesions defined by cardiac MRI images.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Current Primary Outcome: Extent of the area of microvascular obstruction [ Time Frame: 5 days ]

Extent of the area of microvascular obstruction defined on post-gadolinium CMR images realized 48-72 hours after admission in each group


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Size of the myocardial infarction [ Time Frame: 5 days ]

Size of the myocardial infarction defined on post-gadolinium CMR images realized 48-72 hours after admission in each group.


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
